Airline cabin crew are responsible for the comfort, safety and welfare of passengers travelling on air crafts during short- and long flights.
Many airlines require cabin staff to live within close proximity of a particular airport.
What does an airline cabin crew member do?
Working as a flight attendant for a major airline provides plenty of contact with people as well as opportunities to travel. The air cabin crew of a commercial airline share responsibility for the safety and comfort of its passengers.
Duties include:
• greeting passengers as they board and exit the plane
• showing passengers to their seats and providing special attention to certain passengers, such as the elderly or disabled
• serving meals and refreshments
• checking the condition and provision of emergency equipment and information for passengers
• demonstrating emergency equipment and safety procedures
• administering first aid
• dealing with emergencies
• supplying passengers with newspapers, magazines and in-flight entertainment
• selling duty-free commercial goods and pursuing sales targets
• producing written flight reports after completing a journey.
The role can be physically and emotionally demanding and there is a high degree of responsibility involved. Cabin crew are expected to deal with all passengers diplomatically – even when feeling the effects of travelling through time zones and spending extended periods of time on their feet.
